Craft-Dee BowZ inspiration project ....Mittens


Hi all
Tracey here with my Monthly  Craft-Dee BowZ post.The theme for the DT this month is Christmas..so I have created this cute card using all my favourite techniques for you
The beautiful large teal flower was sent to me to work with this month so I based my whole colour scheme / design around that adding silver for an accent colour.
I used an 8x8 embossing folder from embossaliscious for the background. The mittens stamp and sentiment stamps are from Chloe designs. I embossed all the details with my heat gun and silver  wow powder. The frame around the mittens is a die from spellbinders. The snowflakes embossing folder that the mittens sit on is by cuttlebug.
The ribbon is from my stash. and I used my Trusty Craft-DeeBowZ Bow making tool .It creates stunning bows time after time with ease....

Then finally
Craft-Dee BowZ  to leave a comment to say you have joined in the hop


I have made this card and bag combo using a 6x6 card blank. I embossed the background with an embossing folder ,and cut a pretty edge with a sizzlit edge die.I used a stunning rich purple organza ribbon that I received as part of my MPP pack from the fab Bosses Craft-Dee BowZ. I used a sizzix die set to create the frame around the stampin up stamped sentiment.The bird punch also is from stampin up.The leaf punch is from Martha stewart and the bunch of berries are from Anna marie designs..I love the sparkly gems ..so thanks Donna they are fabulous ...The gift bag was made using an A4 size piece of card to start with so it gave me a nice sized bag to hold a gift or candies.The bows on both projects have been made using my Trusty Craft-Dee BowZ   Bow making tool..which is my go to tool for perfect easy to make bows EVERY time.

Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge time

Hi all
It is time for another challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ .The theme as always is anything with a handmade bow.The Dt are Rocking a Christmas theme for your inspiration this month...Here is my card .I used an Indigo blue stamp and some fab sparkly red wow embossing powder on the whole card...If you cant sparkle at Christmas when can you ....!!!
I also used silver mirror card and a cheery lynn die for the swirls.The flower stamp is actually an anemone stamped flower by Sheena douglas which also got the sparkly treatment and I added an acetate flower to the top. The pretty silver organza  ribbon was part of my MPP pack this month ...It made a stunning bow .I also as always used my Craft-Dee BowZ Bow making tool ...I use it for every bow I make and it never lets me down.
Here is a close up of my bow..
